District of Columbia Legislative Home Rule Act This bill eliminates the authority of Congress to nullify recently enacted laws of the District of Columbia (DC). Current law generally permits Congress to review and disapprove, through a joint resolution, measures enacted by the DC Council. If the President signs the resolution, the measure may not go into effect. The bill eliminates that congressional review process.
A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.
